Room Calibration
Everyone's home theater space is different in its own way, which is why Marantz supports Audyssey MultiEQ XT32 calibration out of the box and optional Dirac Live. Using the included Audyssey microphone and stand, you can have the AV 30 automatically adjust audio settings based on the particular acoustics of your space.
HEOS Built In
Powered by HEOS, the AV 30 can join other HEOS devices you own to create a whole-home audio solution. Play the same song throughout your home or different music in each space, either from audio components or popular online streaming services. Enjoy hi-resolution streaming using the search feature of the HEOS app to find exactly what you want to listen to from TIDAL, Pandora, and Amazon Music HD. The app also provides intuitive control of each HEOS-equipped room's playback.
